Finally Got the News

This documentary presents a compelling narrative about the formation of an independent black labor organization that addresses issues often overlooked by the United Auto Workers (UAW). Through interviews and on-the-ground footage, it captures the movement's efforts to tackle problems like assembly line speed-ups and inadequate wages, affecting both black and white workers.

The film begins with a historical montage, tracing the journey from slavery to the development of the working class in America. It highlights the significant contributions of black workers in the economy while also addressing educational tracking systems that impact youth, and the roles of African American women in the labor force. The focus on community and solidarity in the face of systemic challenges makes this documentary an important piece for those interested in labor history and social justice movements.
